If it is not garbage collection, then maybe some synchronization. Writing out a large amount of text to a console may take some time, if console draws slowly. If the writing thread owns some synchronized resource, other threads can wait to obtain it. The output stream itself can be such resource (for example, PrintWriter.write() has a synchronized block), but you won't notice congestion with writing unless some other threads are also trying to write. It might be as well some other valuable resource somewhere up the call chain. Your thread dumps might help you to spot it. http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/HowTo#How_do_I_obtain_a_thread_dump_of_my_running_webapp_.3F Best regards, Konstantin Kolinko --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
